Why not enjoy a double header of football at Blackwell Meadows this weekend?

After the home game against Boston United in the National League North on Saturday, the Durham County FA Women's League kicks off with the Darlo Derby between Darlington Women and Darlington Spraire at Blackwell Meadows, kick off 2pm.

There is plenty of interest in the women's game following the fantastic success of the Lionesses during the summer, and we want to showcase the best of women's football in the town in our home game against the Spraire, who beat our women's team twice last season.

Darlington manager Shaun MacKenzie has brought in some new signings during the summer, and he's hoping that they'll help the team towards promotion -- they just missed out last season.

So why not pop along and cheer the women's team on? There was a crowd of 272 on the last occasion we staged a game at Blackwell Meadows, and it would be great to pass that figure.

The match kicks off at 2pm, admission is £3 adults and £2 concessions. The downstairs bar will be open throughout the game, and food and drink will be on sale.

The game is being sponsored by Dawn Fire Safety --- our grateful thanks for their support.
